I was wondering if brothers have ever entered the ring to face each other. For example, something like the Klitschko's facing each other.

Interesting! But I suppose both took it easy. I can't imagine myself getting in the ring and try to kick my brother's ass or vice versa. I just couldn't do it.Quote:

I'm not sure but a father fought his son not to long ago at some show I forget where and the names.
Yes. Marty Jakubowski once knocked out his younger brother Eric Jakubowski. Marty is mostly know for having a lot of wins and getting stopped by Julio Cesar Chavez. Eric, If remember correctly got knocked out by Arturo Gatti
That I know of profesionally at top level in a world title fight, no.
But Nacho Beristein has said many times he'd have to step into the ring during sparring sessions between JMM & Rafa because they would turn bloody. They would really put a hurt on eachother during sparrings.
He said a couple of times it got heated but it wasn't in a hateful way it was because both of them are very competative.
The only time I could think of that happening would be between the Canizalez bros. who like the Klitschkos both were top level fighters in their division and they both held titles simotaneously in the same division.
Wow. i did not know thatQuote:

Imagine the furore a live bout of domestic violence on telly would create, it would be one of the most infamous fights in history.
I'm sure Trainer Monkey has been working behind the scenes to make this happen
Ali did fight exhibitions with his brother Rahman.
Rocky Marciano also toured, fighting exhibitions with his younger brother Sonny. In fact, Sonny was impersonating a famous amateur of the time (Pete Fuller). Rocky ended up serving a one-month suspension when they got caught.
Check this out too .....
THE BOXING BROTHERS
The Krays did.

Don't know if he has the record or not though?
Didn't Henry Cooper have a brother who he fought?
No don't think they fought each other. He was called George but fought under "Jim" Cooper. He is Henrys twin brother.Quote:

Yes, Marty fought J.C. Chavez like 4 times or 5 if I remember correctly. Wow! Fought his brother and even knocked him out.

From the Canizalez I only remember Orlando. I remember the Ruelas brothers too but they didn't fight each other.
Wasn't the guy Asian? I think I remember that circus act as well. I think the girl won. Typical cheesy/corny ending to one of those Disney movies of a girl that joins a football/hockey/rugby team or something. This Asian guy was smiling throughout the fight. I just wanted to throw my shoe at the tv.Quote:

Another circus act? There was this guy who announced on the radio that he had a pair of tickets for N'Sync or Backstreet Boys, forgot who, but it was one of those two boy groups back when they were a hot ticket. He said that he would give them away to the first girl who beat him in a boxing ring. The guy was not kidding. He got in there and beat the living crap of all girls who wore those boxing gloves. Couldn't get sued.
X,
Interesting article.
Fenster,
And they were twins too. That would be cruel for me. I am a twin and can't see myself doing that to my twin brother!

Seanie,
Who won?
Son knocks out Father in the 2nd round :o
Harry Duiven Jr. vs. Harry Duiven Sr. - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia
Wow! :-\ Would anybody be able to see their own father, brother, etc. Laying on the mat in pain and still raise your arms in victory? Interesting.Quote:
